Around the League – Week 3

April 15th, 2018

The Anklebiters got revenge against the Hookers for sending them to the golf course early last season and have established themselves as the team nobody wants to face.

Math narrowly beat the Sky Fighters by relying on pinching, prayers and Eitan.

Two of the league’s most BTSH-esque teams got very un-BTSH-like in the second half as the Gremmies slipped past Mega. Get it together, bozos.

Rehabs got back on track by defeating the Butchers on the court. Afterwards we heard the Butchers won at Royale. (Who, btw, has been an awesome host to our league.)

Rose Charities Tournament is this Saturday, April 21st. Have you heard? Read the rest of this entry »

Week 3 Previews – Part 2

April 13th, 2018

Filthier at Fuzz
By A Young Padawan and their Jedi Master

So, we got to thinking this week…what would happen to these two teams in a post-apocalyptic world? If civilization collapsed, modern technology ceased to exist, and food and water became extremely scarce, we ask you…WWFAFD? (What would Fuzz and Filthier do?)

We’d choose the apocalypse over having to spend more than 30 seconds in the Tompkins restrooms.

Well, we have some predictions, which (surprise!) have nothing to do with hockey…

  • In a pathetic grab at power, Glanzer would quickly attempt to crown himself King of this new society…but, the King and Queen would clearly be James and Ann. Let’s be real.
  • Sig, in pre-apocalyptic world is a teacher, so in a post-apocalyptic world, naturally he would set up a school and teach everyone the Earth’s tattered history.
  • Walsh would STILL be sitting at his desk, attempting to work. (Come out foraging with us Walshy, quarterly earnings aren’t a thing anymore.)
  • Sunny blankly stares at a non-functioning rusted out old TV, still waiting for a Leafs game that will never happen.
  • Kate would be the REAL leader. James and Ann are just figureheads.
  • Ryann would obviously be the most instrumental to the survival of the group. Spoiler alert: You all die of thirst, starvation, or worse, without Ryann. (We see you, girl.)
  • Alexa still keeps all the ref assignments in her Rainbow Brite Trapper Keeper, hoping to one day rebuild BTSH. (Do you get THIS reference, Alexa??)
  • Coach doesn’t see how this is any more dangerous than a Sunday matinee at CBGB in 1987.
  • Tim K doesn’t even realize the apocalypse has happened because he is still looking for parking at Moffo.
  • Amongst the rubble, Jeff comes upon the illustrious PBR Cup. But he won’t touch it…
  • JJ and Jean attempt to start a Lucy van Pelt-style “Psychiatric Help” roadside stand. Sarah T. shows them how it’s done, starting one of her own and putting them out of business in one week.
  • Where are Suvin and Dennis??

(Hockey) Prediction: James didn’t score last week, so he’ll be hungry. In the tightest contest of the week, this one goes to OT…with Danielle netting the game winner.  4-3, Filthier. Read the rest of this entry »

Week 3 Previews – Part 1

Sky Fighters at Mathematics

Apparently, what the Sky Fighters needed to figure things out was a brunch date with Gut Rot.  They got into a fine rhythm with crisp passing and peppering the net. Side note: to their new embarrassment of riches are the talents of Carlin’s hockey buddy, Sean.  (Actual tears were shed over Karma’s loss)

The last thing Math needs right now is to run into the goal scoring juggernaut of Mia and the Sky Fighters.  They finally found their footing last week, but now we hear that Sam has ventured out to the Northwest to work on his mustache game.  Shawn, Amy and Perras are going to have their hands full with this one.  Good luck Mets. 

Prediction: A competitive, low scoring affair with Dave stealing a W for Math, 3-1. Read the rest of this entry »

Three Stars of Week 2

April 10th, 2018

By Richiehero

Third Star
Cobra Kai

Well played.

While the Demons were putting a scare into Fresh Kills, Cobra Kai and the defending 2018 champs (drunk Phareoux has already decreed) Rehabs went to BTSH war. Thankfully Scotty and Cheeky let them play and didn’t call ticky-tacky penalties or the totally obvious ones either. Liam scored a highlight reel goal to give CK the lead but the Rehabs came right back to tie it. Cherie made pass after brilliant pass while Hustle Loyalty Nebatz crashed anyone with the ball. Eventually Cobra Kai scored the game winning goal kind of late in the 2nd half and held on for victory. Later in October Isaac will call Cobra Kai a Cinderella team but that’s hogwash. They have enough talent to win the PBR Cup and undoubtedly will. Those aren’t my words those are Campbell’s after accepting his 2017 ROY Award at center court after their victory.
